Mossberg JIC

[njarider 0]

is the Mossberg JIC (or any other pump action shotgun with a pistol grip) legal in NJ? I've read through the statues and the ambiguous NJ gun laws are as clear as mud. The JIC meets the requirements for barrel and overall length, round capacity and it's not a "semi-automatic" firearm. My concern is the NJ definition of a shot gun:

 

"Shotgun" means any firearm designed to be fired from the shoulder and using the energy of the

explosive in a fixed shotgun shell to fire through a smooth bore either a number of ball shots or a

single projectile for each pull of the trigger, or any firearm designed to be fired from the shoulder

which does not fire fixed ammunition."

 

Since it's not fired from the shoulder, how does it get categorized?

I would call Phil at Brick Armory. they would know. Alternatively, just call any ffl and ask if they can order it for you, if they can, you can probly own it. On their systems from distributors, they should be able to tell if nj legal or not.

 

but if Saiga 12 is legal... why not? =)

[tbtrout 141]

Yes it is legal as long as you do not go under the minimum overall length. I believe the JIC is a repackaged Mossberg Cruiser. Which has been sold for years in NJ.

Any gunshop have those set ups in New Jersey? I'm looking for the Mariner model.

I own a Benelli Super Nova, 18" 12gauge shotgun purchased last weekend at Tips, and it is NJ legal (and boatloads of fun)!

It's a PUMP. You can do anything you want to it. Put on a big ass flash hider, folding stock, bayonet or convert it to take a 15 round drum. Did I mention "It's a PUMP".

 

ETA: As far as it not being designed to be fired from the shoulder, the NJSP doesn't care about that. I had a federally approved Mossberg 14" AOW and they considered it a shotgun. :shock:

only if its a pump you can have a pistol grip. Not in semi auto....its a nono :roll:

[DevsAdvocate 112]

I don't know why anyone would spend money on a pistol grip shotgun. They're practically useless and you can't aim.

 

But the JICs are designed for boats and survival, so I'll give them a pass.

Cool! Good luck! Just call first, make sure they still have it, I spoke to them a week ago and they did, but you never know if they sold it or not. They only had one.

Oh no, I'm getting it transferred though my local guy. I ordered it on gunbroker. It has a story behind it.. Was the transfer from hell.

Hehe, yea, I decided that I'm going to get my hands on a Mossy myself. Let us know how that goes. By the way, I thought your name was familiar, coldsolderjoint, I saw one of your posts randomly over on the xdtalk forum.

Yes, they are. I've been to In-site. Did my GSG-5 transfer through them for $25 & they were nice & all went well. Had another rifle shipped to them for transfer & it was suddently $45. I asked why it is now $45 when it was $25 only about 1 month prior & was told "Well, it's $45 now." in an extremely rude tone. They have lost my business.

[Chad 3]

Wow....that stinks, sorry you had a bad experience with insite. I never did any transfers thru them, but I have purchased quite a few long arms there. I never had a problem, but maybe I just got lucky.

 

Anyway....here are some links to the addresses and phone numbers of those places mentioned earlier. I would recomend calling first to see if they have what you are looking for. There is also a wal-mart in the feasterville-trevose area that carrys blazer brass for $8.97 / 50 for 9mm.

Just be warned...the first two places have firearms sitting on the shelves, and get this...you can just pick them up and fondle them all you want!!!! lol. Quite different than NJ stores!
